Me case reports submitted to Archives of Physiotherapy should make a contribution to medical knowledge and must have educational value or highlight the need for a change in clinical practice or diagnostic/prognostic approaches. The journal will not consider case reports describing preventive or that therapeutic interventions, as these generally require stronger evidence. Authors are encouraged to describe how the case report is rare or unusual as well as its educational and/or scientific merits in the covering letter that accompanies the submission of the manuscript.
Our team of highly trained specialist physiotherapists are experts in the treatment of all neurological conditions. Here are some recent patient case studies to see the real difference that Neurological Physiotherapy can make to our patients. The muscles in his forearms were wasted and his shoulders were protracted. There were no signs of bone abnormality, nerve or significant soft tissue injury.
I discussed the presentation with the patient to ensure he had a good understanding of the problem and the likely outcome of treatment. I treated to the weak and painful tendons with soft tissue mobilisation, massage, stretching, a graduated strengthening programme. His strengthening programmers consisted of to the series of weight and theraband work, as well as using a Powerball. as these generally require stronger evidence.
The muscles in his forearms were wasted and his shoulders were protracted. There were no signs of bone abnormality, nerve or significant soft a tissue injury. He had good movement, but his strength was reduced on both sides on grip and wrist strength in particular. His shoulder were also slightly weak in the rotator cuff. He had pain on palpation of his forearms generally, particularly pronator teres.

“Physiotherapy as described by World Physiotherapy is a health care profession concerned with human function and movement and maximizing physical potential.”
